Part O H ome Economics I expect, wrote George Meredith, that Woman will be the last animal civ- ilized by Man. Bella Vista's Home Ec- onomics Department, however, does a considerably efficient and polished job of domesticating its girls, though its methods are far from tame. The recipe calls for a wide variety of courses designed to attract every girl--from Home Nursing and Child care to Foods to Decorative Arts --seasoned with plenty of fresh, interesting activi- ties. The Betty Crocker I-Iomemakers of Tomorrow Contest awards scholar- ships to show Senior girls how they measure up, while the Foods ll classes sell cookbooks to raise money for a scholarship for Bella Vista girls. Experience is the best way to learn about child behavior. The Child care class offers Practical experience in this Field for BV girls.

Students Find Fun, Future In The Industrial Arts Department is on the move every year to bring its students the best possible training. The courses offered are already highly diversified-- T among them are Auto Shop, Woodworking, Electricity, Mechanical Drawing, and Photography. Each teacher is highly skilled in his special area, and is constantly updating his courses to keep up with the latest teclmical improvements. A lot of work is involved in simply maintaining the condition of the equipment such as the several new motors available to be worked on this year. The Department's efforts show in the fact that classes are full of students who come to work after school or whenever they have a free period. There are often un-scheduled classes, and the clubs are popular too. Finally, there are many Industrial Arts Fairs, competitions and awards to stimu- late student interest. At the state-wide 1966 Spring Festival, Bella Vista boasted two winners in competition so stiff that most schools cannot expect even one. An lndus- trial Arts course can be valuable to every student, no matter what his plans for the future. It will prepare him to make the simple repairs every home owner encounters.
